happy focus

I do not have a tattoo, but I rather like this temporary one.

After all it would serve as a reminder of what to focus on: happy.

September has always symbolized the start of a new year for me. The tape in my mind plays like this, work out more, eat better, meet deadlines and the constant strive for perfection does cause me to realize that the focus needs to circle around - happy. Smile more. Laugh more and just be happy.

My heart aches for those that have been affected by the flooding or by the memories of September 11th.

Today we will attend the funeral of a remarkable woman of "104" years of living with a happy focus.

What a lovely reminder. Yes, I promise to focus on happiness. I've been putting together a fall "syllabus" for myself, thinking about what I want to accomplish and learn. I think I'll ad "focus on happy" to the list!

I'm with you - September always feels like a time of renewal! So much so that I said "Happy New Year" to someone last night... I try to focus on happy each and every day; after all, life is too short.xxoo

September is filled with many things that can flip your happy switch if you let it get to you. Today would have been my dogs 17th birthday. Kayla passed away just about two years ago (Sept 19th). I have a furneral to attend tomorrow (my neighbor who was just 57 yrs old).

I love fall and I love life and I love death. Without a "passing on of life's most precious (time, life, loved ones, friends, neighbors, pets, or something that makes us grieve...we cannot live.

Nature is so much better at this than we are. But each season the lesson is repeated again and again.

I promise I WILL always be happy! With wonderful bloggers like you PVE how can we not be. Many blessings for this weekend.

September marks the beginning of spring here in Australia and for me it's the perfect time to plan, design and re-arrange (my favourite time of the year)I will definitely focus on joy and happiness this week-end...I promise

September 11 is on many peoples mind & my heart goes out to those affected by it & by those devastated by floods & fires. I promise i will stay focused & happy & I will be greatful to all i have in my life. I always believe in being happy for what we have & not wasting time worrying about what we dont have & when you look around at the sadness of these awful events it really brings this home to me

I think I'm attracted to circles... I'm not sure why, but recently, I am choosing all things circular! I love this tattoo option.... I'm not much of a tattoo fan myself, but if I were to pick one, this just might be the one!Jan
